Huntsville birthday party March 25 celebrates 1886 village founding
HUNTSVILLE — It’s party time here March 25 as the town celebrates its 133rd birthday.
Huntsville Mayor Scott Aitchison and his council invite the community to celebrate at the Algonquin Centre from 4 to 5:30 p.m.
That’s the date in 1886 that the Village of Huntsville, Ontario was incorporated.
Residents are encouraged to come on out, share their memories and dreams, and just have some down home fun
“Huntsville has a storied and interesting past, yet we still have a lot to learn from residents,” said Aitchison.
“I hope that old timers, founding families, newcomers, youth and everyone really, will drop by to chat with me, and their councillors. We want to provide a casual way for residents to reminisce on the past, engage in the present, and help us author a vision for the future of our great town.”
Huntsville Day is an open public gathering, free and accessible to everyone.
The event is a casual drop in. Briar Summers, winner of The Bill award will be providing entertainment, there will be coffee and cookies, and “Huntsville Time Line” project will be available for input.
Huntsville’s namesake, Captain George Hunt will make an appearance.
And there will be temporary “Huntsville Day” tattoos.
Bring the kids.
Ceremonies begin at 4:30 pm.
Following the birthday party, council will meet in council chambers at Town Hall starting at 6 p.m. Everyone is always welcome to attend Committee and Council meetings.
